we lost. Restricted opposition to 161-9 off 45 overs, an under par score considering we play on a small ground with quick outfield & a really good deck. They had an aussie batting at 3 who was class & scored 60. Not sure where the other 101 runs came from, as the other 10 batsmen were bilge. Lots of streaky edges & chinese cuts methinks! Anyway, said aussie also opened the bowling, bowled 17 overs straight, swinging it both ways & took 6 for. We were all out for 98. To be fair that was partly due to some dubious umpiring, as well as some brainless batting. I of course batted 6 again, & finished 24 not out. Started off scratchy, fishing at balls i shouldn't have, but once i got in & started leaving the ball well i felt awesome. So far now the lowest score i've been dismissed for is 27, i've only ever been dismissed in the last 5 overs in an innings, averaging 45 (mainly due to red ink - high score is 34), yet skipper still won't promote me above 6. Grrr...
